Re: live wallaper
 

may i ask what is meant by live wallpaper?, does this mean like a video?.I only ask because i once saw an app running on an android handset that refreshed the desktop from a webcam.Pretty cool i thought considering all the free to watch webcams on the go.

Re: live wallaper
 

technically it can be anything :)
its just another method of using the background area of the desktop
developers can use it for live whole desktop effects or just for changing a picture every now and then.

Cool, can you make more moving wallpapers? Like the moving galaxy on the Nexus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKchi0eMqeI

Download the package and install it :)

mr. incredible.
whilst not a live wallpaper, it certainly is living
download liqflow.

perhaps we can make use of the dynamics and possibly even direct rendering.

Hasn't xfree86/freedesktop.org always been able to run apps in the 'root' of the desktop (that is, where your desktop image normally shows up). Desktop wallpaper in X was always a matter of simply loading a graphical viewer as root to show a desktop image. Just not understanding why, if the N900 is now running xorg, that this seems challenging instead of trivial.
